Once Rejected, Now Desired! [Revenge of the Son-in-Law] Chapter 8: His Sugar Mommy
A part of me wanted to laugh at the statement when I found it completely ridiculous, however, Grandmother's expression was too profound. Her eyes are sharp without any trace of bluff. "Anyway, you may now get back to your room," she added. "It's already late. We'll catch up tomorrow." then she left right after Grandfather clapped my shoulders. Grandmother's motherly piece of advice cut deeper into my conscience. No matter how hard I tried to understand the situation, I still found it too good to be true. I have no feelings for Jennie. Not a chance. We agreed to be a couple in front of the Lincolns and Stroems, but I am putting a boundary between us. She's my secretary. And I can proceed with my plan with or without her. While I was lost in thought, the phone next to my head suddenly rang. This time, it was no longer a message notification but a call. When I caught a glimpse of the phone screen, I frowned when the call came from John Dave. "Hey, it's me, John

It only took a matter of seconds for the members of the group chat to jot down their votes. Imagine my surprise when out of one hundred sixty members, seventy-five percent permitted me to join. Two people who disagreed to oust me from the reunion were Sebastian and Chester. And because they disagreed, the majority of the members joined them without asking further questions, making the count to seventy-five percent. "I think the answer was quite pretty obvious." Sebastian typed. "See you later, @ZacharyLlamas. You better show up because you had my vote and so did the majority, do you understand?" "Perhaps he should bring the woman, right?" one of the students suggested. "I mean, this is what the reunion is all about. For us to introduce our girlfriends, other halves, or even kids." "Just give him the benefit of the doubt, dude. But it would be better if he brought his sugar mommy to the reunion for us to check up on her." "What's wrong, Mr. Fisher?" Jennie bro

"Yes, you got the right man, Officer. That bastard's name is Zachary Llamas Fish..." Sebastian cut his word before he continued. "What? Is he a Fisher? Am I the only one who doesn't know he's a Fisher?" "Why? Do you know someone from the Fishers?" Celestine asked for additional information, putting me in a tough spot. I have no idea if Sebastian might know something about me or my family. But if he does, he could have confronted me since then. He could have gotten my good side either instead of humiliating me in front of everyone. "I know someone wealthy and powerful. Mr. Romulo Fisher, the CEO of Fisher Group and Companies. He's one of the major investors in my parents' companies." Sebastian replied as he frowned at me. "But I highly doubt this one in front of us belongs to that family." The thudding sounds of my heartbeats almost ripped off my chest, especially when he recognized my father very well. If he knows my father, then he also knows how powerful our fam

Before anything else, I ordered John Dave to stop the car for me to take over the driving. His daughter needed him more than I did so I decided to take over the steering wheel. Then I shifted the point of our direction. "It's mine. And that woman back there is my secretary," I started the confession. "There's more of the story than meets the eye, dude." John Dave frowned as he looked outside the window and noticed the road we were taking was no longer the way to his apartment. I can see that he got scared, especially when he had his daughter with him. "I'm going to tell you everything once we get there. But promise me first that you will keep my secret." I added. "Do you trust me?" "Seems like you left me with no other choice, dude. But promise me you won't do anything stupid about me and my daughter, would you?" I could not help but smirk upon hearing his stuttering voice. So I assured him, "Don't worry. I am not some kind doing human trafficking or somethin

"I'm a bit busy right now, Mrs. Lincoln. We already talked the other day. So I believed we have nothing to talk about anymore." Jennie replied, her voice sounding uncomfortable. Considering her relationship with them, Jennie remained professional as she addressed them formally. She was about to slide to the mouth of the door when Mrs. Lincoln stood in the middle, forbidding her daughter to get out of the office. "It's either you come with us peacefully or I'll make sure that ungrateful bastard gets humiliated in front of the employees," she said. "better take your pick, huh, Jennie?" Jennie turned half of her face in my direction, her eyes were worried as if she was seeking refuge from me. I don't know what they discussed the other day when Jennie never mentioned anything about it, so I nodded at her. "Good, because I hate not getting what I want." Mrs. Lincoln scoffed at me. Then she dragged Jennie to the meeting room along with Mr. Lincoln. For the first fi
Once Rejected, Now Desired! [Revenge of the Son-in-Law] Chapter 13: The Gossip
In the middle of my journey to my parent's place, I kept reaching out to Jennie's phone when I could barely think of one reason to answer her sudden walk out. "Please, answer the call, Jennie. Even if you are simply my secretary, I'm still worried about you, you know? So, please, for once in your life, get your phone and pick up the call." Unfortunately, even after a few attempts of reaching out to her digits, my calls kept pushing through her mailbox. Until everything on my phone screen turned dark as I ran out of battery. I didn't want to think something bad could have happened to Jennie, so I focused on the matter at hand. She had her problems, I know, but I have mine too - meeting my parents. They just got back from their out-of-the-country business trip. Mom has been sending me messages non-stop, but I was too busy to give her at least one. Not showing my face to them was like asking for a death wish, especially when Dad and I still had unfinished business t

"My son's right, guys." Dad agreed, not because he wanted to, but because he was left with no other choice unless he was willing to tell them the truth. But that would be the last thing he wanted to hear. So he added, "Talking to them won't give us any benefits. Even if the Lincolns managed to find someone naive to invest in their dying corporation, they won't last long, right, son?" "Of course, Dad!" the same thing happened to Dad, he was also putting me in a tough spot. "But we better get started now. It's getting dark already." In the middle of the game, Dad and Mom kept on cheering for me, especially when I impressed everyone with how good I was at hitting golf balls. The game lasted three hours and everyone was enjoying it as far as I could see from their faces. It has been a tiring day so we decided to have meals together when they all want to know more about me. We are dining in one of Dad's five-star restaurants a few meters away from the golf course.

"Thank you for the proposal, Mr. Cedrick, but I think that won't be necessary. I can find a decent job on my own without seeking someone's back." After letting out those upfront words, I returned his business car and evacuated the toilet room at the speed of light. Clark shouted at me, asking about my contact numbers and address but I never returned. Even a fool would not give his or her information from a bastard. All my friends in college, apart from John Dave are alike. However, instead of running away, I hid myself behind the large ceramic jar with a living plant in it, not far away from our table. Dad and his business partners are still busy talking about business. Then I reached out to Mom. She scanned everyone's faces before she adjusted her body, turned away from Dad, and answered the call. She even lowered her head to make sure Dad couldn't notice. "Where are you right now, Zach? Aren't you coming back?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper from
